We would like to thank the
HOG GROUP for the use of this.

One of the best ways
to keep the group together on a route that contains many turns or
when riders get stuck at a traffic light is call the Breadcrumb
method.

Riders need to
always keep an eye on their mirrors. If they notice that the riders
behind them have become separated from the main group, it may fall
upon them to remain at the next turn to let the trailing group know
what the main group has done. The animation below is an example of
how this method works.

When changing lanes,
the Road Captain will signal and all riders should pass the signal
back to the Tailgunner. The Tailgunner will move over and secure the
lane. When the lane is clear of any cars, the Road Captain will
change lanes. Only after the Road Captain has changed lanes should
anyone else begin to do the same. The animation below is
slightly different but is a
example of this process. If the Road Captain is changing lanes to
his/her right side, they may move to the right of the lane to have a
clearer view of the Tailgunner before actually changing lanes.
Remember don't
leave the lane until the Road Captain has done so first.
